In many cases, businesses struggle to see, control, and secure it all.

That’s where Cisco’s Identity Services Engine (ISE) comes in. ISE lets you:

  • See users, endpoints, and applications
  • Secure the network by segmenting and controlling network access
  • Share important contextual information with technology partners

What is Cisco Identity Services Engine (Cisco ISE)

Cisco ISE is an industry-leading tool that modernizes network access control. With ISE, you can control access to your corporate network across wired, wireless VPN, and 5G connections.

ISE allows you to provide highly secure network access to a variety of users and devices — using centralized policies to decide if a device is allowed on your network, and which permissions they should get.

This helps connect trusted devices to trusted services, so the right people get access to the right data.

Cisco ISE for Enterprises

More Visibility and Insight

With ISE, you have greater visibility into what’s happening on your network.

The platform gives a detailed view into every endpoint and device — who is connected, how they’re connected, which apps are installed or currently running, and who is accessing what.

ISE also stores a detailed history of all endpoints and users. This data helps your IT team make fully informed decisions to protect the network and unearth threats faster.

Stronger Security

ISE offers extensive policy management tools so that IT administrators can apply access and usage policies across the entire network. This controls who, what, when, where, and how people can access the network.

Simplified Guest Access

How will you welcome visitors, customers, or contractors? ISE makes it easy to provide visitors with multiple levels of access without compromising your security.

You can customize guest access through a basic hotspot (like a coffee shop), self-service registered access or employee-sponsored access. Of course, IT gets a real-time view to monitoring guests’ access, activity, and device security compliance.

Cost Saving

By streamlining processes and protecting the business from security breaches, enterprises that deploy ISE could see a 191% ROI over the first three years.

The Forrester study noted that cost savings from improved security were the “single greatest factor in a return on investment.” This was thanks to a 50% reduction in security incidents, plus a decrease in the number of staff resources needed to respond to access-related security breaches, they said.
